Pleasant smells bring out the best in people.

twice as likely to preform simple acts of kindness when smelling coffee or
baked goods in the air, than when there's no smell.
Researchers used a New York shopping mall as their lab-- they checked
their theory by asking strangers for change and dropping pens to see who'd
help.
The opposite may also be true.
Bad smells apparently bring out the worst in people.
